Dr. Who Can Prescribe Methadone (Top voted first)

Updated

I have just moved to Harrisburg, PA. I found a pain management clinic who will prescribe my methadone (I have been taking Methadone for pain management for 5-6 years), however they have asked that I find another doctor. I was told by pain management clinic that I am the only patient they prescribe methadone for. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Harrisburg, PA area that prescribes methadone for pain management?

To MMT Counselor in Wisconsin: If you were able to take a step in an addicts shoes just for one day, possibly you would understand. All your post shows is how ignorant, uneducated and prejudice you really are. I assume you would also feel it would be necessary to remove chemotherapy and radiation treatment for cancer patients as well. That is identical to what you have stated actually. Whether it be Addiction, Cancer or Parkinson's, they are all diseases which make them identical in that sense and for you to actually think that removal of a treatment program for one of those diseases just disgusts me. You are a citizen who puts shame on our country. I suggest you attempt to gain an education of some sort, develop morals and ethics, and learn to look past ignorance and discrimination before you decide to form any sense of opinion toward's such a sensitive topic.

Since you hate addicts so much, what the hell are you doing reading about people and their methadone problems? You sound screwed up.

What is your reasoning for not wanting methadone for pain? I'll bet you dont know what you"re talking about, let's see??

methadone is not 1/2 as harmful as the cancer eating you from the inside out. Don't believe me, your choice but get to a doctor.

I've been on methadone for about 6 years now. I go to a clinic mainly because I got hooked so bad on all the stuff that was being prescribed to me from pain clinics, EG: Oxycontin, Fentynil Patches, Percocet. So I started going to a methadone clinic not only for my pain but I became an addict from all the drugs I got from the pain management clinic. I don't know if this is true of all clinics but after I was stable and gave clean urine tests and swab tests for like 6 months I started getting take homes.. Now I'm at the point where I only have to go one time a week to get my bottles filled. Doesn't everyone else have that option too if your not taking other drugs and your otherwise doing well??

I'be on methadone for 5yrs I went on suboxone for a year then back to methadone the last time I got in suboxone I ended up in the hospital arrayed for 3 days due to precipitated withdraws. Currently I'm on methadone but cannot afford $85 a week plus gas money I have two little girls to take care of. I have insurance and live around the Charleston area of south Carolina if anyone knows of a Dr in or around this area please let me know. Thank you so much.

You know why do you post a reply that is sarcastic? Just because you don't want to take it and stay in pain - do you expect that of others? Methadone happens to be an excellent inexpensive drug for chronic pain. I stayed in excrutiating chronic pain for years and it was only because at that time I didn't know about pain clinics or pain doctors. That's a choice you've made not to go on it. Don't put others down for their choices - they're not asking questions for which your reply is appropriate.

Can anyone please tell me why Methadone is such a big deal and so hard to find a pain doctor to prescribe ? I have been a pain patient for 8 years had artificial disc implanted and it failed. I have been prescribed all types of morphine /hydrocodone/Fentynal patch etc etc. Methodone works as well as anything and is cheaper and less addictive IMO . Why is methodone such a big deal?? Does anyone know doctor in the Dallas area that will prescribe? I know one but my relationship with him is not good. He underestimates my pain and I have to fight him every month for treatment.

Dear MMT, Wow! I am shocked at your post. I am impressed with the people on here that are trying to get help for themselves. I'm wondering how you feel about a cancer patient that used to smoke. Do they deserve to suffer and be in pain because of a disease they have? Should we tell them they deserve the disease they have because they smoked? Should we not get them any help even when they ask for it? You are entitled to your opinion however, you should probably check your facts about the disease. There is a difference between addiction and choice. Addiction is a disease not a choice. Nobody would choose to be addicted to drugs or alcohol just like nobody would choose cancer or diabetes. I just hope the people who are reading all the negative posts are strong enough to keep looking for the post that helps them. Please do not let the negativity of others determine your future. You are worth it.
